Look at my hands and tell me I’m not a lesbian

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-30T12:55:27+00:00

Yeah. Or that she was obnoxious and always had to talk about how gay she was. Or that she was a virgin. Idk. I’ve never seen it in seriousness and I wouldn’t be on board if I did.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-30T02:26:22+00:00

He’s seen lesbians making memes about keeping two nails short so we can finger our lady. He hasn’t grasped that this is a joke that a defined group of people are making about our sex lives. Mr. Video Guy doesn’t get that no lesbian actually does this in real life. We just are talking shit to laugh. But he’s rolling in thinking if he participates, it makes him a real lesbian.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-29T21:41:09+00:00

“Not forcibly raping someone” is the lowest bar in existence. It’s fucked that we’ve even had to acknowledge it as a bar.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-29T14:46:40+00:00

she discovers I still have my penis

Oh, so you just whipped your dick out without having disclosed you’re a dude and are mad you couldn’t guilt her into sucking it? What a rapey asshole

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-29T01:28:14+00:00

OP’s anthem in 10 years will be Matt Maeson’s “Cringe.”

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-27T21:22:54+00:00

There’s nothing that quite makes my blood boil like exclusionist lesbians

In the sage words of The Trammps, “Burn baby burn / burn this mother down”

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-27T17:30:49+00:00

Same brain.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-27T17:28:29+00:00

And don’t be shitty to someone if their sexuality is different than your own (even if you both use the same label)

Huh. It’s almost like we’re two different sexual orientations that have nothing in common.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-26T21:20:43+00:00

Well, that was a dumpster fire. I don’t think I’ve ever read something about lesbianism that so firmly centers on men.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-26T21:08:28+00:00

Have an honest conversation with him and see if you’re both still interested with all cards on the table.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-26T02:55:01+00:00

Nothing says functioning adult like using “I fucked your mom” as a comeback.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-25T20:14:47+00:00

Well, clearly, the only reason anyone disagrees with TRAs is because we’re hateful, lonely losers. It has nothing to do with not appreciating homophobic and misogynistic bullying while also being asked to ignore reality.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-25T20:12:28+00:00

Prima, l’ho trovato molto difficile. Adesso, capito migliore. Ma, ancora non parlo bennisimo. È una bella lingua. Forse, un giorno, migliorerò.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-25T18:51:53+00:00

I remember how primary school teachers would tell us anything is possible. It would convey a sense of wonder. Over the past few years, the phrase is one I’ve come to associate with disbelief and horror.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-25T18:42:05+00:00

if I lived in the USA, I would have already bought a ticket to Europe

If only it was that easy. Lol

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-25T18:40:55+00:00

lesbian trans man

So, are they admitting that homosexual women who transition are, in fact, lesbians?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-25T17:05:36+00:00

Actual Response. Fun fact: I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian home. I don’t mean my family went to church a lot and said grace before dinner. More like, my mom ignored an actual medical condition for 13 years because she was convinced God would heal her. That type of fundamentalist. (Mercifully, my parents have spent the last several years mellowing out to be relatively normal Christians.)

There were three main rules I was supposed to follow for everyone to be happy in this environment.

Don’t question any of the logical gaps or morality with with you’re presented. Just follow us.
Ignore the reality you can see with your own eyes and deduce from your own reason.
Completely ignore your sexual orientation and pretend to be heterosexual.

Needless to say, I failed spectacularly on all three accounts. When I was confronted about this as a teenager, it was framed as me being hateful and selfish because I wasn’t opening my heart for God’s love and I was choosing to hurt God, my family, and our church community by choosing to be a lesbian. Being cast as the villain by everyone around me fucked with my head for years and resulted in subsequent years of self-loathing and self-destructive behavior.

So, forgive me if I’m not tripping over myself to feel guilty for people with the same rules, expectations, and punishments as my parents’ church.

I’ve thought about what I would tell my teenage self if I could travel back in time. My response to this post happens to be the same: This has nothing to do with truth, honor, community, or respect. It certainly has nothing to do with love. It is only someone demanding you bend yourself until you break to make others feel more comfortable. You aren’t selfish. You aren’t crazy for seeing through this. You aren’t the villain here.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-23T20:53:45+00:00

Aww, thanks!

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-23T18:36:52+00:00

Tbh, I met my fiancée on tinder and just lucked out. Most of the women I met there were at least tethered to reality. (The downside was sifting through a bunch of straight couples that wanted a three-some.)

However, I would not recommend the HER app to someone I hated. At least a third of the “women” there were dudes. Every woman I went on a date with was either a huge TRA or crazy in some other way (e.g. crystals help my chronic pain).

It’s too bad there’s not a dating platform for people like us (or a filter on an already existing platform, at least). I mean, people who only want to date farmers have a dating site. Why can’t we?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-23T18:22:14+00:00

May they one day divorce and he be at the mercy of the dating pool he promotes.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-23T17:26:47+00:00

If you’re going to commit suicide because gay men are gay, then I really don’t know what to say. You can get help for yourself, but you cannot make the entire world shift their personal boundaries and negate their own desires. Figure your shit out and don’t try to use a you problem to emotional manipulate others.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-22T14:40:20+00:00

Well, because she’s a lesbian, she clearly only said yes to the dates because she saw Felix as a girl, not a guy. Even though the lesbian still turned Felix down, she’s angry that she said yes in the first place because it’s not VaLiDaTiNg enough. It’s just more of the “I should be able to control everyone’s perceptions of and feelings about me” bullshit.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T16:50:32+00:00

u/TumbleweedFireflies, can we please do this in December?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T15:29:37+00:00

less like a conversation and more like a ritual.

Yes. That’s exactly it. It’s trying to get someone to engage in some social performance that they have zero interest in and it’s just awkward.

I have some friends who are serious Trekkies and, every once in a while, I get stuck in some loop like that about Star Trek. (I don’t like the franchise.) You either have to option to fake engagement, be an asshole and change the subject, or zone out. All of which suck. But, it’s so much more awkward when it’s about guys. Because I can’t and won’t fake enthusiasm about Chris Hemsworth’a biceps. But it’s also weird for me to try to talk about Adéle Haenel’s hips because the ritual is clearly not about talking about what you think is hot.

Idk. I usually just play with my phone or head to the bathroom during those times.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T15:04:13+00:00

This is so many extra steps to start and end at “straight couple.”

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T13:48:37+00:00

You play a dangerous game, my dude.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T13:23:37+00:00

This article is so painfully accurate. YA is absolutely falling apart because of this bullshit. The authors causing the problem are trying to migrate into children’s and middle grade fiction with zero self awareness that people don’t want to read their propaganda.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T13:21:33+00:00

Okay, but can we do our own mock awards each year? Sauciest, Most Informative, and Worst Troll are some categories off the top of my head.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T13:20:27+00:00

She is.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T13:18:46+00:00

there’s a 90% chance I’m completely right.

Bruh, you are.

I hadn’t thought about it, but I’ve never encountered a YA book aimed at boys where two hot guys/girls are fighting over the guy. That only exists in books marketed to girls. Try as the author might, they’ve only reinforced that Felix is a girl with that trope.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T13:13:34+00:00

I got it through my library on the Libby app. Your city probably has the same system.

It’s definitely not pulling quotes. The lesbian character says Felix transitioned because she’s a misogynist. It’s a pretty obvious and bad twisting of “maybe the explosion of girls identifying as boys has something to do with escaping the misogyny and sexual objectification of our culture.”

The boss villain at the end thinks “you guys” [trans people] are taking gay spaces because they don’t know “how hard it is to be gay.” (This is followed up with some straight girl yelling at him forever that black and trans have it so much worse and gays shouldn’t complain.) Its pretty obviously glossing over our actual complaint of “you are a bisexual woman who does not experience homophobia like gay men do and you should not fetishize them, harass them, or talk over their lived experiences.”

Anyways, I laughed my ass off at both parts because the author is so clearly furious LGB people and women won’t validate all their delusions.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T04:00:12+00:00

…they do realize pretty much all cheer squads are already co-ed? Having a guy with more upper body strength is useful for some lifts. (Source: my sister competed in cheer from middle school to graduation.) This comparison is not even remotely the same thing as a guy being on the softball or girl’s basketball team.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T03:14:12+00:00

I had the delightful experience of listening to this as an audiobook. (It was its own hilarity because a transman narrated. At no point was I able to suspend disbelief and even pretend the book was about a guy because it all just sounded like a woman with a slightly sore throat.) But, just for you, I will go in search of a print copy tomorrow to pull some quotes from the best sections.

I will tell you now that the author is clearly someone who hate read our old sub and r/GC. Both of the villains have intentionally bad, half-formed straw men from both places. (Let me reiterate that the villains are the only gay and lesbian characters.)

this book is so much propaganda to children

Unfortunately, that’s what YA has become. Everything is hyper woke to the point that most books are really just a Twitter rant with a loose shell of a plot around it. This sort of chicanery is also bleeding into middle grade and children’s books.

Even worse, this particular gem went further than your basic anti-LBG diatribe. Towards the beginning, it essentially gives instructions for how to get a referral to a gender clinic. Several times it encourages kids to go to online forums to learn about their gender. Later, it walks the reader through the process of getting hormones and top surgery. It wraps up nicely at the end with Felix giving a dramatic speech about how being trans makes her special and interesting deserving of love and “like a god.” (No, I’m not fucking around. That’s an exact quote.)

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-21T01:49:33+00:00

I don’t know if anyone will get what I’m saying, but I’ll try.

I feel like there are two types of conversations with straight women about men. The first is when she’s just talking about her life with her husband/boyfriend. That’s all fine and dandy. There’s nothing weird there and I don’t feel alienated. I just talk back about life with my partner and move on. I’d venture at least 85% of the conversations I have with straight women are of this type.

The second type, however, is some weird shit where she doesn’t really talk about anything she’s interested in or her life with a guy—it’s all about her existing as an entity in relation to a man or men, generally. I do find that to be not only isolating as a lesbian, but a little weird on the whole. Like, what are you supposed to say to someone who’s debating whether or not a guy would like this sundress or that sundress because she’s really not interested in “idk, just pick the one you like” but also you can’t ever possibly care what hypothetical dress a hypothetical man would like. (Longest run on sentence ever.) Or when someone goes on about how amazingly dreamy Chris Hemsworth (or whoever) is and you’re just there like “🤷🏻‍♀️I’ve only got eyes for Adèle Haenel but why are we talking about this so much.” Tbh, I would feel weird if I was talking to another lesbian and everything was about her girlfriend in that way.

Anyways, I have no idea if any of that made any sense. But, I hope your night gets better because you’re pretty fantastic.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-20T22:37:44+00:00

Yup. It’s the same guy.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-20T17:26:02+00:00

But no one can tell the difference, right?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-19T18:51:10+00:00

So I’m sure OP won’t care if his date whips out a dick after drinks. After all, transwomen can be just as beautiful as women and that’s all that matters.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-19T16:45:14+00:00

Well what are they identifying as then?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-18T22:08:09+00:00

Care to elaborate?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-18T13:39:55+00:00

Yeah, for all the shit he talks, he looks like a suburban dad from the 90s.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-18T13:10:16+00:00

It’s really driving me nuts that the shave isn’t completely even in the back. It’s kind of a sloppy job. (Sorry. I watch a lot of barbering videos in my spare time.)

People like this are like like vegans who make veganism their entire personality. They’ve got nothing original to say, so they exaggerate one trait and make it their entire being. It’s insufferable.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-18T12:58:19+00:00

So, we’re outlawing homosexuals from gathering? It really does feel like we’ve been cursed to live in interesting times.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-18T01:31:14+00:00

he is quite upfront about his prior felonies.

Here’s my hot take on this. As a society, we are pretty bad about showing grace to others. We expect people to grovel and trip over themselves to apologize for past misdeeds, but we haven’t any intention of forgiving them and/or providing a path to redemption. Add to this that the internet has given us a permanent record of everyone’s SNAFUs. This has created an atmosphere where no one wants to be honest about messing up. They want to lie, deflect criticism, play the victim, or pass the blame.

Let’s face it. We’ve all done something fucked up at one point or another. It may not be making a school shooting threat level of fucked, but we’ve all done something we’re deeply ashamed of and regret. If someone knows that people will never forgive them and they certainly won’t let them forget that bad thing, but is still willing to be honest, it speaks volumes. Candor in the face of consequence shows greater moral fiber than a lifetime of a sanctimonious play-acting ever will.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-17T03:29:32+00:00

Exactly. They’ve spent the past year and a half living out their fetish fantasies full-throttle online in an environment devoid of actual lesbians. Now that we’re all going back to normal, they’re going to be in for a rude awakening when no lesbians will give them the time of day irl.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-16T17:14:01+00:00

I think it’s column A and column B. There are some assholes here, but there are also some trolls. (TQ can’t let us go, can they?)

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-16T17:11:18+00:00

He doesn’t identify as a man but wants to be in men’s spaces. By his side’s own logic, he’s an invasive asshole.

I’m just going to take a stab in the dark and guess that the gay men in these spaces don’t like having him hang around solely because he’s a whiney and self-absorbed prick.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-16T16:31:24+00:00

I’m sure all the other lesbians are going to be real torn up by missing out on a date with that gem of a human.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-16T16:30:36+00:00

…is she actually 12?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-16T16:28:17+00:00

It is common for trans women to express mild distaste or outright revulsion at the notion of using their equivalent of a clitoris for penetrative purposes.

Then why is every trans sub filled with transbians fantasizing about fucking lesbians with their dick?

the stereotypes one sees in porn are male-gaze driven, and usually reflect survival sex work.

Show me the high demand for lesbians wanting trans hookers. (I’ll give you a hint—it’s zero.) The author is pretending the experiences of homosexual transwomen who do work in prostitution are equal to transbians’. Presumably very few straight woman are paying to fuck a dude in a dress and no lesbian is paying to fuck a dude. Furthermore, the only people who would be into transbian porn are transbians. Neither lesbians more regular straight men have anything to do with your bullshit.

Anyways, my entire question to this article is this: If I should consider why I’m not attracted to the opposite sex when they identify as women, why should I not consider why I’m not attracted to the opposite sex at all? What’s the difference?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-15T15:02:13+00:00

If someone’s complaint about their oppression is “I don’t win acting awards,” they need to live a less sheltered life.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-13T18:30:15+00:00

I pettily clicked on all the profiles in the comments. There are two that aren’t obviously dudes from the first couple posts. The first had a whole lot of mental health shit going on and the second is all over a bunch of bisexual subs. R/ActuallyNoLesbians I guess.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-13T17:14:52+00:00

I’m convinced that video was made by someone who both fetishizes lesbians and has never actually been in a long-term relationship. No one is blushing and getting shy after giving their live-in partner a kiss. It’s more like, “For the love of god, Emma, please pick up your dirty socks” and then kissing them with zero embarrassment.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-13T10:37:20+00:00

All the actual lesbians around him have probably taken out restraining orders.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-13T03:19:38+00:00

Uhhh, I don’t know any lesbians who see/touch our own bodies and respond like we’re touching another woman. OP’s narcissism and fetish are showing.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-12T21:08:35+00:00

It’s like trying to combine a soccer club with a group of people who think sports in general are stupid and would rather talk about cross-stitching. The groups not only have nothing in common, but one is actively opposed to the interests of the other.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-12T21:04:14+00:00

I’m curious how attack helicopter is so offensive and ridiculous but any of the made up genders aren’t.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-12T15:53:21+00:00

Show me one clit that’s naturally 3-6 inches in size. Just one.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-10T23:36:50+00:00

…they’re in one of the most liberal cities in one of the most liberal regions of the country. They have the media and the ruling political party on their side. They’re able to bully a long-standing gay group into disbanding instead of dealing with their bullshit. What exactly are they resisting?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-09T04:25:34+00:00

I could drop kick each and every member of the choir for pulling this smarmy and arrogant stunt. They didn’t think of anyone but themselves when they made this. They certainly didn’t care how it would impact LGB people in places outside of super liberal costal cities.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-09T03:59:54+00:00

Being a straight man, I’m sure he has always struggled to be heard in a Latino culture.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T23:30:04+00:00

Ah, Honduras. I’m sure it’s a bastion for LGB people and this has nothing to do with heterosexual trans people.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T23:11:28+00:00

Uh, I don’t know who he’s been hanging out with, but I’ve yet to meet a single person who’s like “genital herpes for life? Sounds fine.”

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T23:09:30+00:00

I don’t know a ton about Spain. Did they have a big pendulum swing after Franco’s regime ended in the 70s?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T23:08:45+00:00

Stand strong, France and Portugal. We have faith in you keeping the crazy in Spain’s border.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T23:04:42+00:00

That was a rape fantasy with zero basis in reality. No lesbian ate his rancid dick hole and didn’t notice.

But, really, all the guys in the comments can rot in hell. They’re all worried about OP’s feelings and safety and have zero regard for the woman he raped in his fantasy. Bonus hell rotting for the guy who complains that the imaginary woman is radicalized for not being into dudes.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T22:49:54+00:00

It’s hilarious how it’s a man with children. The boys don’t realize how accurate they’re being.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T17:42:45+00:00

Here’s my 2 cents. I’m an American millennial, for reference.

Our species has two sexes that are physically different from each other. Neither one of these sexes can transform into the other.

Gender is, first and foremost, a linguistic term. Due to chicanery over the past few decades, it had also come to mean the stereotypes/expectations societies place upon an individual based on his or her sex. For example, the idea that boys like blue, play football, and wear pants OR that girls like pink, dance, and wear dresses.

I think the latter concept of gender is mostly bullshit. Liking baking and skirts is not what makes me a woman. Being female is what accomplishes that. Likewise, being into math and weightlifting doesn’t make me a man or less of a woman. (And if a dude wants to wear a dress and full face of makeup it doesn’t make him less of a man.)

That being said, I think there are probably some traits of each sex that do have a biological basis. For example, aggression levels and risk-taking behaviors tend to be higher in male primates than they do in female primates. Things like this deserve fair and unbiased study to see if there is a biological component. If there is ever concrete proof of explicit differences, it would not mean that individuals falling outside the norm aren’t their sex. It would means they have a feature atypical for their sex. (This is as silly as saying a female 2.1 meters tall has a male height. She does not. She has a height uncommon for females and more typical with males. But she is still biologically female.)

Sex is not a feeling. It is an objective, physical reality that we live with every day of our lives from birth to death. Our sex impacts how we navigate the world. It often impacts how we’re treated, what’s expected of us, and can impose limits on us. Claiming that stereotypes define a person ignores the biologic and cultural realities that come with sex. It is an insult to any thinking person.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T01:44:34+00:00

This. I had a disagreement with a friend irl a couple of weeks ago because she was on about demisexuality. Here’s how that conversation went: Me: how is that different from being a well-adjusted person with boundaries? Friend: it just is. Me:…but how? Friend: refers to a graphic novel she read and implies I’m a jerk for not being convinced

We consume more media than at any point in history, but people aren’t willing to examine their beliefs if it provides the slightest bit of discomfort or legwork.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T01:39:01+00:00

Obviously, outside observer here. Your boyfriend’s reaction sounds unfair. There is a reason behind everyone’s opinions. Even if they’re kind of insane or rude (I suppose that applies to both the opinions and/or the reasons), those views don’t come out of nowhere. He should listen to your side and be able to have a conversation without name-calling or belittling you. It doesn’t mean he had to agree, but he should should show you the respect of discussion. That being said, passive aggression probably isn’t the best route either.

Side note, please don’t take offense to this, but your English is excellent! If you hadn’t mentioned that Spanish was your native language, I wouldn’t have guessed this is a second language for you. ☺️

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-08T00:10:35+00:00

Possibly? Who knows with these people? They all want to pretend to be gay, but also hate gay people. Their heads seem to be some sort of demented Uncle Wiggily game.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-07T17:14:10+00:00

My fiancée and I also have some disagreements about all of this. What worked for us was sitting down and having a very honest, but civil conversation about where we stood. We had a fight about it once and then realized we needed to dial it back. So, the next talk we set parameters like no interrupting, no yelling, etc. and had a reasonably calm discussion about both of our viewpoints. Our big takeaway was that we each have a right to an opinion and that we each have reasons for feeling the way we do.

From what it sounds like, your boyfriend seems to want you to mirror his opinions or thinks that he can “educate” you to his point of view. Perhaps honesty is what you also need?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-07T17:01:37+00:00

I don’t even understand why she cares if her aide is a gay man unless she’s got it in her head that he should want to fuck her. (You know, crossing every line of appropriate and professional behavior.)

Sis, the only thing you’re trying to do is use disability as a cudgel. You certainly aren’t trying to pass.

But, really, imagine this poor aide’s job.

I’m not really sure why anyone thinks anyone should seriously consider the opinions of a grown woman with a cardboard cutout of Draco Malfoy in her bedroom.
This entire video could be summed up as “words have no meaning but I’m very special.”
I don’t know what I love more—the top reply being from a man angry that there’s no subtitles or the second reply being from a man insisting she get medical help.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-07T00:55:06+00:00

The same mentality as abusive partners. “If I can’t have her no one will!”

arrows often point somewhere and they mean movement

How Indo-European-centric of xe. Doesn’t xe know that Afro-Asiatic languages are read right to left?!

On the real, some dude is making a killing selling an ugly flag to corporations without most of our consent and has the gall to pretend we’re assholes for not liking it. Sounds about right for 2021.

Here it is. Sorry for the weird site. Everything else had generic photos of actual lesbian couples instead of a photo of the couple in question. (You know, where you can clearly tell one is a man.)

I remember seeing an article a few years ago about how a “lesbian” couple was sticking it to Putin and getting married through a loophole. It was billed as a gay victory. That loophole was that one was a transbian. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid and insensitive TQ+ is.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-05T21:06:01+00:00

Exactly. I don’t think OP is self-aware enough to recognize the irony of getting mad at LGB people for “gatekeeping” with concrete definitions while he’s deciding what counts as “queer” by his ever-shifting personal politics.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-05T18:51:06+00:00

…while also employing the anti-Semitic trope that Jews control the media. Just wow.

everyone with the same ideals

And what might those ideals be?

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-05T01:46:25+00:00

Yeah. It’s like he was trying to turn stomachs. Graphic footage of needles being inserted in totally unsafe ways? ✔️ Blood in amounts that verge on gore? ✔️ A disconcerting use of light that looks like a knock-off Manson video? ✔️ A flaccid dick flopping around? ✔️ Contorting oneself in a manner reminiscent of The Exorcist? ✔️

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-05T01:31:14+00:00

Not to sound like a dolt, but other countries have this problem too?

Yeah. I haven’t been able to wrap my head around people “protesting” racism and fascism by burning black communities to the ground and beating up bystanders. (And how they almost never get called out for that in mainstream media.) It’s all bullshit and zero concern for actual minorities, working class people, or democracy.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-04T17:50:00+00:00

Yeah, and the people who seek out those situations are generally either lost people who are easy to manipulate or fucked up people who want to manipulate others.

I recently read a book about NXIVM. The erosion of sexual boundaries through constant peer-pressure was how women got drawn into it. Once they were in, the higher-ups would get some kind of blackmail on them to keep them there. (Meanwhile, everything would escalate exponentionally for the women trapped inside.)

Watch this girl talk about being pressured into sexually accepting men and keep in the mind the knowledge that her refusing would result in her being exiled and having her reputation trashed. Tell me this isn’t a fuckin’ cult.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-04T13:02:02+00:00

One of the things I really don’t understand about modern America is how people behaving like Blackshirts are somehow “anti-fascist” and above media criticism.

A has-been D-lister applies a nebulous term to himself for attention. Shocking.

They spent 4+ hours making new accounts just to harass us.

And we’re the basement dwellers with nothing better to do. 😂

Gay men: I don’t like pussy.

Ohio: passes a religiously-inspired law

TRAs: this is all your fault, gay boys!

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-03T13:22:47+00:00

if you were born with brown hair but dye it blonde are you still a brunette? no you’re a blonde now

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. You’d still be a brunette. But, I guess this is an apt comparison for transwomen. You’ve only made a temporary cosmetic change, but absolutely nothing about how your body works changed. It doesn’t fool anyone long term. People can often tell by looking at you. And, if an archeologist ever digs up your body in a 1000 years, they can tell how you really were.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-03T02:28:58+00:00

Agree. It’s super racist. It’s also the sexual equivalent of taking my petrol engine car to a diesel mechanic and bitching because she can’t fix it. I could whine and shout, “You wouldn’t say you can’t work on cars because they have a white or red paint job!” But, clumsily pretending a superficial feature is equivalent to the essence of the machine won’t magically make this mechanic be able to fix my car.

julesburm1891 · 2021-07-03T01:47:37+00:00

Replace ‘trans’ in trans woman with black or Asian or any other race and it’d be racist

It turns out neither black nor Asian women are men. They also don’t demand that I reorient my entire sexuality to revolve around them in ways that completely negate the biological, sexual, and social realities of being a lesbian.
